Porkfest!

We also love your food, and are both still dreaming of Turkish mantı and the many different ways Jordan made us fall in love with the chick pea. We had to employ some serious willpower to stop ourselves from licking a few plates clean while we visited.

But unfortunately, we were still left wanting. There was one important thing missing. One delectable and mouth-watering meat that we painfully went without for the over three months while we toured Muslim countries.

We missed you, little piggy!

We craved bacon in our pasta, chops served with apple sauce, and even just a good ol’ fashioned hot dog.

And I’m not kidding – several times during our stay in Turkey, we had to turn off the TV when watching No Reservations, as Anthony Bourdain’s current exploits were just too porktastic.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the ocean, they’ve taken things too far and put bacon on the ice cream sundaes now. Loving the last picture though. Bacon Carbonara just might be the world’s most perfect food.Steve recently posted..Driving Around Disney

I’m missing sushi a lot… Funny story, yesterday minutes before this post went live, a friend of ours here in Slovenia took us out and we had a massive plate of pork products. He had no idea that we were releasing this post. It was perfect timing

Man, just go to Germany. They are the land of he pig and the potato! I was there for 3 weeks last year and declaredI’d be happy if I never saw another piece of pork again in my life. Bacon doesn’t count though. (:

We are heading into Austria and Germany in a couple weeks, so I imagine we will get our pork fix. I don’t think I could ever declare that, and yes, bacon doesn’t count. I think it deserves its own food category.

Pork isn’t my favorite meat, but I’m not sure I’d like going 3 months without being able to have any. And your pictures are making me hungry!Ali recently posted..The Time I Thought Our Plane Might Crash

The food photos are gorgeous! That pastry with ricotta, cream cheese and prosciutto looks delicious! I’ll have to try making something similar… Perhaps with the addition of fresh figs too… hmmm…Vicky recently posted..Buying a Travel Laptop

I like salami and pepperoni and the occasional piece of bacon, but that is where it ends with pork and me. Living in Germany I kind of get tired of it. Turkey was such a nice place because there was none of it.
